Aspects of this multidisciplinary endeavour now constitute major areas of research. This book is named after the international summer school held annually in the beautiful alpine village of Karthaus, Northern Italy, and consists of twenty chapters based on lectures from the school. They cover theory, methods, and observations, and introduce readers to essential glaciological topics such as ice-flow dynamics, polar meteorology, mass balance, ice-core analysis, paleoclimatology, remote sensing and geophysical methods, glacial isostatic adjustment, modern and past glacial fluctuations, and ice sheet reconstruction. The chapters were written by thirty-four contributing authors who are leading international authorities in their fields. The book can be used as a graduate-level textbook for a university course, and as a valuable reference guide for practising glaciologists and climate scientists. 410 0$aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,$x2510-1315 606 $aGeology 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEcology 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aGeology 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aPhysical Geography 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 676 $a551.312 700 $aFowler$b Andrew$f1953-$01859864 702 $aNg$b Ka Chun Felix 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483161403321 996 $aGlaciers and Ice Sheets in the Climate System$94464157 997 $aUNINA
